Wicker Expected to Retain Miss. Senate Seat

Republican Sen. Roger Wicker was prevailing against Democrat challenger Ronnie Musgrove to hold on to the unexpired term of retired Republican Sen. Trent Lott.

Both candidates were conservative on social issues, including life and marriage. But the left strongly supported Musgrove, a former governor of Mississippi, who could have been counted on to vote with his party on key procedural votes, such as cloture to block Republican attempts at filibuster.
